Leon Plan Interpretation
NSEFC B2 UNIT1 (Period 2)
Good morning, every one.Welcome to my interpretation.
1）On teaching material
The leon plan I’m going to talk about is the reading part of Unit 1 of NSEFC Book 2.The central topic of this unit is about the cultural relics, which is always the focus of the whole world today.This topic is close to our daily life, and it can stir Ss’ desire for participating in the activities, which is the embodiment of the new curriculum.In this unit, the definition, features, sorts, protection and poeion of the cultural relics are included.This leon is the second period of the whole unit.In the first period, we have learned some famous cultural relics both at home and abroad, such as the pyramids in Egypt, the Great Wall in China and so on.Ss have been familiar with the definition of the cultural relics and also have had some ideas of the importance of the cultural relics.Based on this, today’s leon will introduce a strange history of a famous cultural relic – the amber room in Ruia.As I mentioned just now, this is a reading part, which is very important for students to master some reading skills, help them to improve their reading speed, and also form the emotion of protecting cultural relics.As to the grammar of this unit—the non-restrictive attributive clause can be also mentioned in this leon.Much emphasis should be put on reading skills and reading comprehension as well.In order to fulfill the learning tasks of this leon, I make out the following objectives:
a) Cognitive objective:
Students will know something about the amber and the history of the amber room.Then, they will master some useful words and expreions such as: amber, decorate, reception, belong to, in return, at war… b) Ability objectives Students should be encouraged to read as fast as they can when they do the first reading.However, the students in my cla are lack of some independent reading abilities.So, I’ll encourage and help them to read, think and find out information by themselves most time.The most important thing is to help them to develop some useful reading skills as predicting, skimming, scanning, and gueing the new words from the context.What’s more, I’ll train their ability of finding out useful information in a short given time and try to gather the information to give a summarizing in their own words. c) Moral objectives This period is about the strange history of the amber room.Most of the students know very little about it and they are interested in it.So I will make full use of the topic to increase Ss’ learning motivation and to help them to form the sense of protecting cultural relics.At the end of this leon, we will have a discuion about how to deal with cultural relics; I want Ss to have a correct idea on it and do their best to protect the cultural relics.d) Important and difficult points

As for the students of senior 1, NSEFC has too many new words, and they haven’t mastered some reading skills, what they have is the studying method of junior school, which is not suitable for them now.As a result, among these objectives, the aims of mastering some useful words and expreions, helping them to develop some useful reading skills and to form the correct sense of dealing with cultural relics are very important and difficult.Another difficult point is to list out the remove of the amber room.Because this task is based on the deep understanding of the whole paage and Ss need the ability of information-gathering to do this task.
2）On teaching and learning methods To achieve the teaching aims I’ve mentioned above, I will adopt the following ways of teaching and learning.As for teaching, I’ll follow the ―student-centered‖ principle.The communicative approach and task-based method are adopted.Besides, I’ll make every student work in cla through pair or group work and try to expre themselves well.This is to train their sense of cooperating with others and helping each other, which is very important and neceary in new curriculum.To make my teaching direct and concrete, I’ll make full use of the modern equipment and some encouraging and polite remarks, if neceary.
Based on the teaching methods I mentioned just now, I hope Ss are able to learn some important reading skills, such as predict what will be talked in the paage according to the title.And also, they will learn the method of analyzing a paage according to different clues, such as time clue, people clue, place clue, and use this method to analyze an extensive reading.
3）Teaching procedure Here comes the most important part, my teaching procedure,
Step1Pre-reading activities for interest (7mins) Activity1：（2 mins） Greeting (2 min)
Free talking.Explanation: Free talking is a good way to grasp the attention of Ss and create a happy and relaxed atmosphere; it will get the Ss and the teacher nearer.In this leon, I’ll take a necklace for example, talk something about the stones and the amber with Ss, then make preparation for the following steps.
Activity2：(5 mins) Lead-inLearn some information
3 mins) I’ll show Ss some pictures of amber and ask them if they can imagine a room that is made of amber.Then show the pictures of the amber rooms in St Petersburg in Ruia.Explanation: Showing pictures is the best way to stimulate Ss’ interest quickly, and also offer them the chances to learn something concretely.Here by showing the pictures, I train their ability of imagining and connecting the new knowledge with the old

04041408 knowledge.Ss also can learn some new words such as amber and decorate.
Prediction (2 mins) Predict what would be the whole paage mainly about when you first see the title.Explanation: Train Ss’ ability of prediction is very important for today’s teaching.It will enable Ss to do the following reading task with some given purposes, and also, train their imagination.
Step2While-reading activities for comprehension (21mins)
Here comes the reading part.Here I adopt the top-down reading model.Students are asked to get the general idea first, then down to some details, such as the appearance of the amber room.The step can be divided into 2 parts: fast reading and careful reading.I arrange the tasks from easy ones to difficult ones.
1) Fast reading includes two parts: skimming and scanning.As for skimming part, Ss will read the whole paage quickly and answer three questions.As for the scanning part, Ss will match each part of the paage with its headline.Explanation: Train their reading ability of skimming and scanning then extracting specific information in a short given time.Here Ss will learn some useful reading skills: get the main idea according to the first and the last sentence of each paragraph and also some key words.
2) Then comes to the careful reading.Ss will read the paage paragraph by paragraph, then finish some corresponding tasks.
a) Read para 1 carefully, then try to answer some questions.In this part, I’ll let Ss answer the questions in oral form.Explanation: This is to break the tranquility of the cla, the question and answer between Ss and the teacher will relax them, at the same time, it is a good chance to train students’ oral English and enable them to concentrate on the paragraph.
b) Then read Para2-5 carefully, and find what happened in the four periods of time.Explanation: It is the time clue of the paage.It will help Ss to know the structure of the paage clearly.
c) As to the following tasks, such as the T or F questions and the comprehending choices .They are based on the deep understanding of the whole paage, so it is difficult for Ss.They will do the exercises with the teacher’s help and guidance.However, the exercise is close to the college entrance tests, so it is very neceary for Ss to master some reading skills and also improve their reading speed.
3) Activity 3Group Work: Draw a chart to show the remove of the Amber Room (from the two aspects: Place and people)
Explanation: Based on the understanding of the structure of the whole paage, Ss are required to do the exercise.It will help them get to know the structure of the paage clearly.It will train their ability of information-gathering and the sense of cooperating with clamates, which can improve the efficiency of learning and teaching,

Step3Post-reading activities for production (11 mins) Activity 1：Discuion (6 mins)
I’ll let Ss discu the following topics in groups 1.Can you imagine the fate of the Amber Room? What is it?
2.If you find a cultural relic, what will you do with it? (Keep it for yourself / Give it to the government / Sell it secretly and earn a lot of money / Ask parents… ) Explanation: According to the reading, what happened to the amber room remains a mystery.So the first discuion will train Ss’ ability of imagination.As for the second discuion, it is a good way to achieve the moral objectives.The discuion part can enable Ss to expre their own ideas bravely.It is based on the understanding of the whole paage, and even the deep meaning of it.So it is a very important activity to train Ss’ skills of listening and speaking.
Ways of aeement Here, I list out the group aement for their reference.From this standard of evaluation, those students who are good at English will be active in this activities and want to get the best reward.Those students who are not very good at English will find their own shining points from some points in this aement.That’s good for their progre.
Activity 2：Extensive reading (5 mins) Read another short paage which is connected with the reading.(Fate of Ruia\'s lost art treasure revealed after 60-year cover-up)
Explanation: According to the reading, what happened to the amber room remains a mystery.However, it has been revealed in 2004.Reading this extensive material will make the story complete, also, it is the answer of the discuion.A good conclusion can call on them to pay attention to the protection of cultural relics.At the same time, it is a good way to broad up the Ss’ view and vocabulary.
Step4Homework (1 min) Explanation: This homework can let students be more familiar with the reading part and also make preparation for the language points.
4) Blackboard design
On the left, I’ll list some useful words and expreions to help Ss to remember them.On the right, I’ll list out the structure of the whole paage, and also the main idea of it—the amazing history of the amber room, it is to help Ss to understand the paage clearly and also give them a conclusion of the paage.
That’s all for my interpretation.Thank you very much.
